I am travelling to Shivamogga next Saturday i.e.,23.092017 by train 16581 Yeshvantpur Shivamogga town express. This is my maiden journey in this newly introduced train. I am very curious to have a look at general coaches as they are Deen dayalu coaches. One thing I fail to understand is why this train is not getting good patronage. For journey on 23.09.2017 more than 100 berth is available. Where as in the other train i.e., Mysore Talaguppa it is RAC 101 for that day. Many Shivamogga bound passengers can travel in this train as berth will be confirmed and also this train reaches at 6 in the morning so that they can complete their sleep where as the other train reaches at 4.45 AM.

How was your travel? Did the train fill up? How was the rush in UR?
.
My guess why this doesn't fill up are:
1. The other train has halts at SBC, MWM in the heart of the city, so convenient for people to board. Now after extension to MYS, it has got KGI, NYH as halts too.
2.
...
more...
Considering the other train starts at 11 pm it will be preferred for people to sleep, rather than 11:40 with this train. People go by train mainly for the convenience of sleeping rather than bus :) so sooner they are able to shut eye, the better. 11 pm to 5 am is pretty much the preferred hrs.
.
This train too used to start at SBC when inaugurated, but no place to park, so shifted to YPR. They should convert that HUP Pass as MEMU and send it to RMGM or WFD/BWT during day and free up one stabling line and park this train there.
